Balatro has reportedly made over $4 million on mobile since release

Balatro has reportedly generated almost $ 4.4 million in revenue on mobile since its release earlier this year.

As reported by PocketGamer, information provided by App Magic claims that the game saw a sharp increase in revenue on November 18, the day the game received five nominations for The Game Awards, including Game of the Year. 

Balatro has been nominated for Game of the Year, Best Game Direction, Best Independent Game, Best Debut Indie Game, and Best Mobile Game.

Since release, Balatro has received several collaborations including special decks themed after The Witcher, Vampire Survivors, Cyberpunk, and more.

Celebrating two million copies sold earlier this year, developer LocalThunk revealed that the game’s first major update would be coming in 2025.

“This update will bring new ideas and strategies to the game and as a token of huge appreciation to the game’s brilliant and passionate community, the update will be completely free,” they wrote.

VGC’s Balatro review called it “gaming’s best time thief since Vampire Survivors”.

“Balatro is an astonishingly addictive take on Poker that’s utterly impossible to put down,” we wrote. “Occasional difficulty spikes aside, it’s a piece of simplistic genius that we’ll keep on our Steam Deck forever.”
